Strange little bit here about how not to spread germs. Same funny brit guy again. Likes beer too.

Who on earth had a bowl of disinfectant lying around?? That was mighty strange. Still enjoyable though.

Professional quality as always. On a side note, did you see how high his pants went up his chest? Why did he bother wearing a shirt?

I now know what to do with my handkerchiefs and the Mrs. won't wash them, prefering to wash my boxers, instead. Now, to find disinfectant bowls...

Thank you, United Kingdom! :D

This is, as can be seen from the thumbnail, a black and white live-action shortlet.
It is a sequel to Coughs and Sneezes, reminding us what to do with the hankie after a hard day's WHOOOFing into it.

Great stuff, and I just love the dopey character they used in these films.
